Luker Cumbre 58% Dark Chocolate Sugar Free

This sugar-free chocolate is crafted with 58% cocoa and sweetened with maltitol, offering a rich and exotic flavour profile—delicate citric and fruity undertones and a mild acidity balance the predominant cocoa notes. It is also dairy free and vegan, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The chocolate does not contain soy or soy lecithin, and is made without milk, nuts, peanuts, or tree nuts, reducing the risk of allergens.

This free dark chocolate is crafted for those seeking sugar free dark options, using unsweetened chocolate for a pure cacao experience. The subtle, balanced sweetness comes from the sugar substitute maltitol, which mimics the natural sweetness of sugar without adding any calories. A bold and slightly bitter profile is balanced by subtle sweetness and a hint of salt, while a surprising twist of light minty notes completes the flavour, making this a refreshing yet indulgent chocolate experience.
